The magical, lyrical, hysterical flying adventure from the author of Memories of an Emerald World and The Jungle Express!  When a sleep-deprived American Air Force pilot in Panama has a vision of tropical treasure, his misfit companions set out to bring the dream to reality.  Thus begins a dramatic and hilarious shakedown of every country south of the Texas border, from the jungles of the Yucatan peninsula to the salt flats of Bolivia, as the well-intentioned but often overeager flyers try to collect the dream's baubles and solve the mystery behind them all.  Based on Bleriot’s own experiences as a counterdrug pilot, Flying Naked’s colorful characters, sharp dialogue, and fast pacing bring the quest to life – as do his hair-raising descriptions of flight.  Readers have compared Bleriot to Ernest Gann in his ability to put the reader inside the cockpit and Flying Naked does not disappoint.  Lock your shoulder harness and hold onto your seat – you’re in for an adventure from first page to last!
